Buddy
FOR FAMILY

Help once. Then step back.

Buddy is a wellness coach that lives in their text messages — meals, weight, water, and gentle med nudges. No app. They keep the conversation. You get peace of mind that something kind is checking in — dignity, not surveillance.

WHY WE BUILT BUDDY

It started with Melissa — the founder’s mom.

A 70-year-old uses Buddy every day. She didn’t want another app to learn. She wanted something that lives where she already texts — kind check-ins for meals, weight, water, and meds she chooses. That’s the product. Adult children can help with the first messages; then the conversation stays theirs.

SETUP ONCE

Three calm steps. Then they’re in charge.

1
Text together

Open Messages and text Buddy at +1 (305) 450-7715. Sit with them for the first exchange if that helps.

2
Set quiet hours

They tell Buddy when not to message. About one unprompted check-in a day at most — never a guilt trip.

3
Step back

They keep the thread. Chat stays private. You’re not monitoring — you’re helping them start a habit that sticks.

WHAT YOU GET
  • A coach in their Messages — no app to download
  • Peace of mind that something kind is checking in
  • Setup help once; they own the habit after
  • $25/mo · cancel anytime by text
WHAT YOU DON’T GET
  • No live monitoring dashboard
  • No “we alert you if they miss a day”
  • No shared inbox of their texts for a clinician or care team
  • If they share later, it’s a wellness summary they choose — never the conversation

Family FAQ

Will I see their texts?

No. Chat stays private. If they share, they choose a wellness summary (metrics they pick) — never the conversation.

Is Buddy medical advice?

No. Buddy helps stick to everyday habits. Questions about meds, labs, or conditions go to their clinician.

Does Buddy change prescriptions?

Never. Nudges and logs only — no dosing, no GLP-1 / shot-day coaching.

Do they need an app?

No. Text Buddy on their phone.

Ready when they are.

Wellness coaching — not a medical device or treatment. Free to try. $25/mo after.
